The Relationship of CAI to Learning the Concept of the Lowest Common Denominator.

George, K. M.; Nelson, L. D.

Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, v5 n3 p56-58 Spr 1986

Investigated effects of computer assisted instruction (CAI) on learning efficiency, defined as either higher passing percentage or less time on task. Subjects (N=24) were college mathematics students who either were lectured or had a CAI tutorial on the lowest common denominator. The CAI group took less time, but solved more problems incorrectly.
